[MD] The Quality of Free Will

Dan said:
Experience is synonymous  with Dynamic Quality. So yes, I agree with you, which is why I've been hammering on the notion that it is our behavior that is without choice when it is controlled by static quality patterns and not us. Does that make sense?

dmb says:
No, I don't think that makes sense. If our behavior is controlled, how does that fail to count as controlling us? Isn't the question whether or not we can act freely? Free will means you can act on your will. If your will is determined then you cannot act on your will. The MOQ gives a different answer to these questions than the MOQ does, but those are the questions. The whole issue is about whether or not you have any choice about what you do or say or think, which all count as acts.
